M.I.A. live@lowlands 2007 - Paperplanes

[Markus3400]

sounds like someone who's tired of singing and wanna have a beer before she's going to bed.

[BostonBrus]

are you a singer or just a bitch?

[andyemio]

MIA Y U NO HAVE VOICE

[TomGilson1982]

ok. Her voice is giving up but who cares. I like her

[TheWestHammers]

this is actually quite shit ..

but i still love M.I.A .. she fucking rocks !

[antistrumpfmensch]

she opened for björk in 2007 she was great shes not a good singer but her music is amazing so who cares?

[crp50403]

She sounds like shit live.

[andruchina]

This was the last song of her gig! Her voice must've been all tired by then. She's not a singer, she's a person who has something to say. So gives a crap about how she sings!

[RedMapp1]

she's under heroin

[TheMrbollox]

She is shite live.

[Bloodlustjr]

Looks like shes been doing some needles before the show!

[giraeldisco]

damn she's the one that is singing bad

and i've seen more videos live

and she's not that bad like in this one

[limpnjen]

She had to of been on something. But regardless, I'd rather see a performance like this than a "perfect" one which includes half naked back up dancers, autotune, and fancy lights. Most performers on her level are all fake and lipsync, at least she has the balls to go on stage live WITHOUT all of that. And as of yet, I've never heard her say that she was a fab singer or any of that, so she gets kudos in my book.

[bonkswa]

yeah

[punjabinkarperated2]

amazing...how folkhop has destroyed music all ova the wolrd

this idiot needs to hav the mic yanked from her face

laughable

[BruzinhaK]

this is a true artist, even sick she makes it fucking LIVE! different from britney spears, beyonce and all those other ones that can't sing live not even when they're not sick

[AnonRulez]

@BruzinhaK I love M.I.A. to death, but don't defend her sucky live performances (though she's electronic so it doesn't matter) by labelling Beyonce as a lip-syncher. If you have ever actually watched Beyonce perform, you would not make such a sillyazz statement. That girl sings live and performs her heart out in every one of her performances and sounds better than the actual record even. On the other hand, ITA w/ Britney Spears. She should crawl back to whatever hole she came out of. :)

[Antonyhamftw]

man i bet she wishes auto tune worked in a live situation hahaha

[lordmeowmeow]

m.i.a. performances aren't about hitting every note and sounding good to even halfway decent. i bet she even knows she's a mediocre live vocalist. it's all about the energy she brings, and having a good time. and in that sense, her shows are fucking sweet. i love the use of political imagery as well.

[banuelos5689]

man shes fukn horrible now i need to back to da original video to remember how it sounds

[thegodfather2010]

lol...shes on really bad drugs

[Pavignon]

it sounds really terrible.. was she really sick or..

[Food2001]

Sounds like a drunken pirate.

[bcbpiccolo]

I COULD NOT stop laughing at this. As if MIA doesnt sound bad enough, but the backup singer is Terrible too.

[typo1337]

the live versions jus sucks

"And aaaaaaaaaah...take your money"

cmon it sounds like shit

but the studioversion is decent!

[corzandv]

we love m.i.a

[andye2007]

Why?

[xdizzlex21]

shes so sick

i cant believe she performed like that

insane

[typo1337]

agree!

[moondancer2410]

shes obviously sick..

[horsecowgirl]

is she constepated?

[williamgatesenson]

wow she sounds like shit

[CoyoteVeracruzano]

Wow que decepción! estaba a punto de volverme su fan, pero no hay manera, canta horrible en vivo. FEO, FEO.

[bouquetofseaweed]

Check her out on the David Letterman Show for a good performance of Paper Planes and pass it on. This video should be removed out of respect

[bouquetofseaweed]

Still love her but want to hear a GOOD live version!

[majitox]

SHE WAS SICK THAT DAY.

[MikeyParham2]

LOL! Good point! Maybe she was.lol.

[6LineTv]

too bad she could use her harmonizers live or second takes smhhhhh Sad this is Rhianna performs this song better lmaooo

[lilvjdude]

that was pretty bad...did she run a 10K race before getting on stage?

[MikeyParham2]

Last time i checked she was a Sri Lankan rapper. I never really considered her a singer. Hmm, but if this is her supposedly singin then damn.lol.

[xxiLoveAngelxx]

if there wasnt a description saying it was her singing i would have thought it was someone doing a really bad cover

[Hawiar6]

SO BAD! UGGHHHH It sucks.

[cphellp]

Love the song and her but her voice Ahhhh

[mae78543]

woww how high is she?

[warriorprince1010]

MIA has problems with singing live.

[lukeraloko]

BLAAAAH

My ears :'(

[iamanengine]

If she can't sing live and decided to get another girl to help her out with vocals she could have at least made sure it was somebody who can sing even remotely in key. I really like her, but all the videos i've seen of her singing live are ridiculously shit.

[project291284]

oww shit...she has tracker voice!!

[HardAsARock222]

wow i love the song, but i would never consider her good live...im sorry but that shit sounds soooooo bad!...id still boink her...shes hott! lol

[Julissa199228]

WhatEver she singS! hahah .. she is the BesT!!! ! MAYA FOREVER! and SHE IS THE BEST !

[IrrigationWater]

she sucks live

no offense but this song is awsome

[ladysyke]

She probably hit a haze blunt before performing which is all good i'd blow one wit her

[phantomfour]

is she drunk???????/

[k9ripper85]

sounds like someone singing karaoke

[LinKueiGrandMaster]

dey needed to make the music n mic louder so she wouldn't hav to scream n mess up her voice

[diabolique111]

I love MIA, but god damn that sounds shocking

[emmalang04]

[noonewillknow123]

[TokenTV]

Shes actually amazing live, she has been touring singing that song for a year now everday a concert and nothing but singing, i would have a sore throat too, there actually is times shes good live like on TV

[peterloftus19]

i dont think her genre of music is meant to be heard live, its like a dance song isnt it?

[distortedmessiah]

surpised.. they sound like crap live even IF they play their recordings anyways

[tbwannab]

yea she fucking blows live...amazing albums but live sucks

[jeenyus720]

sounds raspy

[jSLV4152iLoveMyCity]

DUDE LOV M.I.A DUDE SICK BEATS

[dozaraw]

She was sick thats why she sounded like that . She still put on a bomb ass show. She did it for her fans. Thats a true artist. She was sick and still did her thang.

[skeeterdead9]

wow this is shit lol

[appletonjacob]

[TheStrokesNirvana]

Wow shes butchering her own song... LMAO!!!... it brings a tear to my eye to see her like this.

[shyeahhman]

She's... growling?

Aw. I guess missing her show because it sold out wasn't too much of a bummer...

[hasslehoffmen]

[shyeahhman]

[GujuHustla08]

god she sucked in this one

[cultivodecannabis]

esta toda enpastillada la culera

por eso se oye asi

pero de todos modos prende a la banda.

[mygodauniqueusername]

I can't find a video of her performing live that isn't ridiculously bad.

[segjulie]

True that... I love the lyrics, I love the studio version of Paperplanes but you can't deny she was off key the whole time and talking more than singing... It's an insult to the crowd who paid to see her sing.

[tictac4884]

one of the worst live performers. you know it

[MUN7001]

lol these stupid white people dont understand a thing she's saying, its hilarious

[hothothottie09]

y was i thinking the same thing!lmao

[prabriti26]

oh..my gosh what happed to her?

she can do much better than this!

[paugon]

the out o tune is so exagerated that i'm asking myself if she did it kidding. could it be?

[cawiivip]

she was really sick during this and they forced her to preform.

[xxblackened]

ROFL

[xifluti]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[sloth96cky]

i like her but she's not too good live lol

[thesartorialist]

I agree, she makes great music but this sounds like she's TRYING to fuck up. It's dreadful.

[hendrixfan143]

Ive seen her live, this is just a fluke, she really isn't this bad

[yavoborgman]

I think it's cool she doesn't give a shit. Out of tune, but out having fun. That's just her.

[moncj66]

soo out of tune, did she practice? my goodness, she need help live

[Marija311086]

[dougwoog]

[rushofspeed]

[blackanger2]

[imaginaryboy13]

She may be "out of pitch" or sounding as if she's "on crack" but at least she's out there doing something which is a lot more than any of you turds are.

[Roshkopf]

ah shut the fuck up, all of you. she ain't a confident singer as it is and it's not about the way she sings it's about the lyrics and the message she's tryin to send out.

[xxvioletshadesxx]

uhh. she sounds like shes on crack...

[saintandrews83]

She is out of pitch here, very sharp !!!!

[klinkenborg]
